What, in /g/'s opinion, are the benefits of using BSD over

OpenBSD is my personal favorite.
BSDs come with a lot of good stuff by default, like compilers, a webserver, etc.
They also don't have gnu's nasty --long -----------------looooooooooooooooooong option syntax.

thanks senpai

too many bsd posts lately. read the man pages or neck yourself.

>>58935179
There's nothing wrong with using a handbook or FAQ instead of man pages. I also don't really mind BSD discussion: I'm tired of GNUtards assuming everyone has bash.

Everyone runs on Mac.

Do you have autism? ==> GNU/Linux
Do you have severe autism? ===> BSD

My favorite BSD is macOS.

BSD sucks.

what's wrong with those they're just another option to doing it the proper way?

OpenBSD is god-tier
Sadly, there are many features absent in the BSDs (to a varying degree), most notably some drivers, which are present in Linux.
Also software developers love to pretend the BSDs don't exist, so you got GNU configure (disgust) in a lot of projects, along with GNU-style (aka non-POSIX) Makefiles, among other things (eg #!/bin/bash) that make porting very hard.
GNU configure, in particular, is a fucking mistake.

Not the same guy, there's nothing *wrong* with long options, they're just annoying. it's better to use a 1-letter switch like -s than --some-stupid-option-that-takes-a-fucking-while-to-type-while-trying-to-do-work-at-the-terminal-because-fuck-the-user-right?

>>58935520
Some programs have mandatory long options, which means you type more, and typing more is bad for your hands.

>>58935568
Nothing you listed is a problem with OpenBSD: those are problems that OpenBSD becomes a victim of.

Better use Slackware so your computer won't break.

this

is it really a problem with openbsd if people can't be assed to properly write build systems?

>>58935470
Sorry. I never documented my unpleasant experiences with BSD.
Suffice it to say, I won't be installing again in any imminent lifetime.
No matter how hard (You) shill it.

>>58935615
well, yes, but it makes using OpenBSD unfit for a lot of cases, sadly.
And the project is still rather young, virtualization is just making it to the system, so if you want that, you're still out of luck, since the hypervisor is in alpha and currently only works with x86_64
I still think it's the best OS of the whole bunch out there

Network code way more organized. You can easily create a custom TCP - congestion control

macOS is not a Unix

Certified UNIX unlike Linux.
